PAIN MANAGEMENT LABORATORY LIS

Pain management LIS.
Considered follow-up.

KaiJun is being developed for clinical toxicology laboratories serving pain management practices and other clinical care teams. Its LIS workflow keeps screening, the clinician’s next order and definitive testing visibly connected.

01 / LABORATORY WORKFLOW

Urine drug testing workflows with a visible ordering history

A laboratory supporting medication monitoring needs a clear record of the requested testing and the resulting report. KaiJun’s synthetic examples use urine specimens to demonstrate accessioning, screening results and a distinct definitive testing workflow.

The product direction is to preserve the ordering clinician, requested tests, specimen context and report history as the work progresses. Laboratories can use the prototype to review the proposed workflow before configuring production ordering rules and permissions.

02 / LABORATORY WORKFLOW

A deliberate break between screening and confirmation

There may be a pause after the screening report is released while the physician decides whether additional testing is appropriate. KaiJun’s example flow accommodates that pause instead of treating every screen as an automatic confirmation order.

A separate definitive order links back to the earlier specimen and testing context. The intended workflow makes it clear which tests were authorized and when the laboratory may begin the next stage. Actual order validity and specimen suitability still require the laboratory’s established policies.

  • Review and release the presumptive screening report
  • Preserve the physician’s decision and separate definitive order
  • Review definitive results and their associated quality context
  • Release the appropriate report with its own chronology
03 / LABORATORY WORKFLOW

Reports that distinguish screening from definitive results

Pain management laboratory reports should make the method and result type easy to find. KaiJun’s screening and LC-MS/MS examples use distinct report titles, method notes and result presentations, with instrument run and report release dates shown separately.

The prototype offers multiple report layouts and configurable report text. These examples help evaluate readability and branding. They do not interpret medication adherence, establish a diagnosis or replace an authorized clinical review.

04 / LABORATORY WORKFLOW

EMR coordination and billing review remain separate

SAVAS is a planned EMR interface for exchanging orders and results. The current handoff is an unconnected prototype; live exchange requires cooperation on interface specifications, identifiers, acknowledgments and error handling.

The product includes a billing review workstream, but releasing a report is not the same as approving a claim. Payer-specific coding, documented medical necessity and claim submission must be reviewed and validated separately. The website and prototype do not submit insurance claims or guarantee reimbursement.

A FEW COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you explore.

Is KaiJun software for a pain clinic or a laboratory?

KaiJun is a laboratory information system in development. This workflow is intended for clinical laboratories that support pain management practices; it is not a replacement for the physician’s EMR or practice-management system.

Does a screening result automatically trigger LC-MS testing?

Not in the demonstrated workflow. A clinician reviews the screening information and may place a separate authorized definitive order. A production laboratory must configure and validate its own ordering policies.
